DCS commonly is considered a computerised control system for a plant that has central operator supervisory control. Which of the terms below is best described as a system that allows for exchange of data throughout, but can have remote systems within the system?
Which of the components of a smart transmitter is best associated with sensor linearization?
DCS commonly is considered a computerised control system for a plant that has central operator supervisory control. Which of the terms below is best described as controllers and operator stations that are separated physically from the central control system?
A DCS collects a lot of data during the course of operating. Which of the terms below would best describe the database that contains a record of process alarms and events as they occur?
The standard recommended by ISA-18.2 is for 3-4 priority level alarms to be used. Which of the alarm priority levels below can best be described as the highest level alarm, demanding prompt operator action?
Modbus has standard command codes to allow the master to access information from it's slaves. Which of the commands below would be used to read the input status of coils on a slave device ?
The industrial network topologies you are required to use is defined by the OSI network model. Which of the common topologies below is likely described as a network a single continuous pathway through each node from being connected directly to two other nodes?
The quality of a OUT parameter status field has several different classifications. Which of the classifications below can be described as the value may be useful, but of diminished quality?
Which of the error detection methods below is best used for larger data packets of virtually any kind of data?
Ethernet network components provide several ISO layers of transmission control. Which of the network components below has transmission controls only on the ISO physical layer?
Which error check method is best described as an industry standard fieldbus protocol?
A defined area of geographical coverage is commonly called an area network. Which of the area networks below best known for use with USB and bluetooth devices?
Which of the messaging types below is best described as independent communication with the scanner module initiated by the properly configured field device?
